BEI Sensors DRML1 Relé

The DRML1 Load Monitoring Module is designed to be plugged on top of any Nova22 Solid State Relay with Contactor configuration (PM22 and DR22 Series with options V or W) to monitor up to 8 heating elements with similar current value, with a total current ranging from 1.2 Amps up to 50 Amps. The DRML1 module permanently measures the load current and compares it against a pre-set nominal value (TEACH value) which is stored during the installation of the module either by pressing the “Teach-In” pushbutton, placed on the front, or with the external “Teach-In” input. The alarm output is activated when the module detects an undercurrent of 12.5% below the nominal value, which corresponds to the failure of a single load. The module can also detect other fault conditions, such as: overcurrent (current exceeding 12.5% of the nominal current), blown fuses (open load), damaged (short circuited) or interrupted SSR, and it can also detect half-wave operation. The maximum current value (20 Amps or 50 Amps) and an adjustable alarm response delay (0.1 sec, 1 sec or 5 secs) are selectable on the front via the parameter selector switch. The alarm delay avoids fault messages generated by voltage drops. Malfunctions are indicated by a multicolor LED, which indicates when power is ON and also when the Teach-In function is activated (Blue), when the input signal is ON (Green) and when an alarm condition is activated (Red). The DRML1 module is ideal for monitoring the correct operation of a wide range of equipment, such as injection molding, plastic extrusion and thermoforming machines.
